Will Measure M affect our public schools?

A:

No. The City’s own consultant* found that Measure M will have noeffect on school revenue, expenditures or enrollment. In the intermediate to long term, Measure M may even reduce pressure on school enrollment by encouraging balanced development that lowers the City’s jobs to housing balance.

* “Approval of the Ballot Measure should not lead to increased expenditures or a loss of revenue as compared to the ECR/D Specific Plan for the school districts.” Menlo Park Ballot Impact Analysis, page 5-9, Lisa Wise Consulting.
